Though the occasion was solemn the bonhomie amongst the Congress leaders who met here for a condolence meeting was evident and irrepressible. Vijayawada Central MLA Malladi Vishnu who enjoyed a father-son relationship with former Chief Minister Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy stated that a condolence meeting would be held every month to pay homage to the great leader for one whole year.
Meeting two months after the death of Reddy the party leaders seemed to have come to terms with the tragic event. They seemed happy to get-together notwithstanding the sombre occasion and greeted one another with smiles. But the photographers covering the event had to wait patiently for the leaders to wipes the smiles of their faces to record the event.
Eyeing for something big
Leaders at the lower rungs often come out with their own small demands in various ways to claim their share of power. While operating within their respective areas of specialisation, these leaders leave no stone unturned in finding ways to strengthen their positions.
For instance, Jala Spandana vice-president Alla Venkata Gopalakrishna now seeks greater power and responsibility for Water Users' Associations at the State level. As of now, these associations are relevant locally only. So, some seats should be allotted for presidents of Water Users' Associations in the next elections for Legislative Council, demands Jala Spandana leader. It is argued that the local body representatives are already enjoying this privilege, just like teachers.
Hence, the urgency to involve and engage, Water Users' Associations presidents in the higher legislative bodies. They continue to raise such demands at every forum regardless of whether there will be any immediate benefits or not.
Health secret
That aerobic guru Dinaz is made of sterner stuff came to fore during the medical tests conducted during the breaks after every four hours of exercise during her record-breaking feat on Sunday in city. Despite the strain and exhaustion, Dinaz maintained blood pressure of 110/70. Even her pulse rate was normal.
Many doctors felt that this was possible only by a person who leads a disciplined life. "Dinaz body, mind and soul in sync and she could achieve this feat owing to her dedicated pursuit of aerobics, meditation and balanced diet," said Dr. Chadalavada Nageswara Rao, member of the organising committee.

Why did you become a nurse?
11Nov 8, '12 by brian, ADN AdminWe all have our reasons to why we wanted to become a nurse. Why not share them? What made you go into nursing school? What was your motivation in your quest to become a nurse?

1Nov 8, '12 by wish_me_luckHey, Brian. I became a nurse to "help" people in a hands on manner and have a career that I would always be challenged in and be forever learning. Many careers "help" people, but most fields in nursing require hands on care and no case is ever the same and there will always be updates and better ways of providing care, so it's a learning process. Plus, this is a career field that is its own little world, so the possibilities are endless.Joe V likes this.

After 3 years of paying my dues, I've pretty much found what I was looking for. The personal satisfaction varies from patient to patient but I find that there are at least a couple every shift and sometimes several. There are usually a few turkeys, as well ;-) -

It took me a while to figure out someone else was there caring for the patient and that it was going to be all right. I could hang up my super hero cape and go back to sleep.I wanted a job that had set hours, and when I am not there I did not have to think about it.

Active projects
The following projects represent the current and ongoing Department of Family Medicine and Population Health
research initiatives:
- Engaging vulnerable consumers in developing useful public healthcare reports
- Using health information technology to improve healthcare quality in primary care practices and in transitions between care settings
- Promoting use of a personal health record for prevention
- Quality performance measurement
- An interactive preventive health record (IPHR) to improve patient-centered care
- Colorectal cancer screening barriers study
- QuitLink: A leveraging solution to tobacco counseling
It is the policy of the Department of Family Medicine and Population Health not to accept funding for its research program from the tobacco industry.
Engaging vulnerable consumers in developing useful public healthcare reports
Start date: September 2012
Principal investigator: Daniel R. Longo, Sc.D.
Funding:Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality
Our objective is to build the scientific base for effective public reporting of healthcare quality by examining the nature, type and dissemination of public reports by engaging consumers in focus groups to identify their needs in healthcare decision-making. Consistent with the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010, that aims to improve dissemination of measure of healthcare quality and resource use and as identified in AHRQ's request for applications, we intend to fill two of the major gaps in the public reporting evidence base identified through the engagement of subgroups of AHRQ's priority populations and Medicare beneficiaries as they relate to study consumer views of the design, content, and dissemination of public reports. We intend to focus on the Medicare population with a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes, because previous cognitive interviews and focus groups indicate that consumers want relevant information, such as physician or hospital performance for patients with similar health conditions. Accordingly, the diabetic population is more likely, than an apparently healthy population, to have a greater need to learn about their disease, as self-management is vital to living well. Further, because of the variation among ethnic and racial populations relative to health information needs, we specifically target African Americans, Latinos, and White populations, aged 65 to 85, who are non-institutionalized, Medicare beneficiaries. Data indicate the increasing burden of diabetes with age, a higher incidence in African Americans, as well as great disparities in African Americans and Latinos in Virginia and nationally.
Our specific study aims are to determine:
- How public reports can be designed to address the varying information needs of vulnerable populations as they make decisions for their personal healthcare including selection of healthcare providers – both physicians and hospitals.
- How the content, design and dissemination of public reports can best reflect meaningful information that consumers would actually use in their personal decision-making.
Study Design
Our qualitative study design proposes two rounds of focus groups. The first round will focus on Aim 1 and the results will be used by project staff together with Virginia Health Information (VHI), developer of Virginia consumer reports, to develop public report templates and to identify themes, both of which will be relevant in the design of the round two focus groups, which will focus on Aim 2. Final study results will be used by VHI to develop a final public report to Virginia Medicare beneficiaries on type 2 diabetes; further we will disseminate project findings with the assistance of our national advisory committee to ensure wide scale dissemination beyond Virginia.
Using health information technology to improve healthcare quality in primary care practices and in transitions between care settings
Start date: September 15, 2010
Principal investigator: Alexander H. Krist, M.D., M.P.H.
Funding:Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality
Promoting use of a personal health record for prevention
Start date: June 15, 2010
Principal investigator: Alexander H. Krist, M.D., M.P.H.
Funding:Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality
Exploratory and developmental grant to improve health care quality through health information technology.
Quality performance measurement
Start date: Oct. 1, 2007
Principal investigator: Daniel L. Longo, Sc.D.
Funding: Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality
This contract's main objective is to produce a comprehensive report on issues involved in supporting primary care practices in collecting and reporting quality performance data, current effective strategies that practices have implemented to collect and report quality data, and potential innovations in the field as described in the tasks and sub-tasks in AHRQ's Task Order Number Four. We are identifying barriers and facilitators to data reporting and collecting, as well as potential solutions and strategies for primary care offices. AHRQ Conference on Health Care Data Collection and Reporting: Collecting and Reporting Data for Performance Measurement serves as the task order's foundation and guides the final report format.
The Virginia Ambulatory Care Research Outcomes Network intervention is using a combination of comprehensive literature review, on-site focus group visits and consultative and peer mentoring approaches. To guide our work and analyses, our task order project utilizes a conceptual framework derived from three lines of inquiry including quality of care with an emphasis on performance reporting and provider behavior change, diffusion of innovation theory and competing demands in primary care practice. Nine ACORN practices are undergoing detailed assessment regarding data measurement and utilization, and staff and consultants work with six small practices selected from the nine. Using qualitative research methods, we are developing six case studies including "member checks," conducting an in-depth literature review and synthesis, performing environmental scanning and synthesizing all project findings. Finally, we are focusing on the results of the task order's identification, examination and recommendations on current challenges, strategies for overcoming barriers and facilitating solutions in collecting and reporting data for performance measurement. Innovative dissemination strategies using case studies are employed in a variety of venues to reach practicing primary care clinicians, administrative and office staff and policy-makers.
An interactive preventive health record (IPHR) to promote patient-centered care
Start date: September 2007
Principal investigator: Alexander H. Krist, M.D., M.P.H.
Funding: Department of Health and Human Services, Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality
We posit that an interactive preventive health record, designed to provide patients with preventive health information from their clinician's electronic medical records and link patients to educational resources, decision aids and a tailored list of prevention recommendations, will increase the delivery of recommended screening tests, immunizations and counseling. We propose to test four specific aims in a randomized controlled trial.
Our study evaluates whether an invitation from a patient's primary care clinician to use the IPHR, versus the usual delivery of preventive care, results in the following outcomes for adult patients:
- Increased delivery of age- and gender-appropriate clinical preventive services.
- Use of the IPHR.
- Increased shared decision-making for preventive services.
- Improved clinician-patient communication about preventive needs.
We are conducting a randomized controlled trial involving 5,500 patients (2,750 intervention and 2,750 control patients) randomly selected from the practice population. Intervention patients receive a tailored postal request from their personal clinician to visit the IPHR for assistance with managing their preventive care, while control patients receive usual preventive care. Outcomes being investigated include both the delivery of preventive care (whether patients are up-to-date on age- and gender-appropriate preventive services) and specific domains of patient-centered care (the patient's perspective on the care experience). Outcomes are assessed from two separate patient postal surveys (a Preventive Services Survey to assess delivery of preventive care and the CAHPS Clinician and Group Survey to evaluate patient-centered care measures), EMR data queries and automated reports from the IPHR about patient and clinician use of the HIT tool. To limit survey length and ensure adequate response rates, we are selecting two separate cohorts of study participants for outcomes measurement. We are mailing each cohort a different postal survey — the Preventive Services Survey for 4,500 patients and the CAHPS Survey for 1,000 patients — in January 2008 (baseline), January 2009 (six months after the intervention) and January 2010 (18 months after the intervention). We plan a pre-post cohort analysis of outcomes, comparing the change from baseline to six and 18 months for the intervention and control groups. Patient and practice perspectives about implementation of the IPHR are further assessed by qualitative analysis of focus groups.
Colorectal cancer screening barriers study
Start date: May 5, 2005
Principal investigators: Steven H. Woolf, M.D., M.P.H., Resa M. Jones, Ph.D., project director
Funding: National Cancer Institute and Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality
Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the U.S. An estimated 148,610 new cases of CRC and 55,170 deaths will occur in 2006. Screening for all Americans age 50 and older is uniformly recommended by at least one of four screening options: fecal occult blood testing, flexible sigmoidoscopy, colonoscopy or double-contrast barium enema. A major factor limiting screening effectiveness is the low proportion of the eligible population that undergoes screening. Understanding the relative importance of screening determinants is essential to prioritize potential public health, clinical and policy strategies to enhance CRC screening.
The primary aim of this study is to describe the factors that patients identify as their reason(s) for not undergoing screening for CRC and the relative importance they assign to each factor. The primary outcome of this study is a profile of CRC screening barriers that patients identify in their responses to the postal survey.
QuitLink: A leveraging solution to tobacco counseling
Start date: May 2005
Principal investigator: Stephen F. Rothemich, M.D., M.S.
Providing a new configuration of existing tools to identify smokers and connect them with community resources will increase rates of smoking-cessation counseling provided in primary care settings and will increase the number of smokers who receive community-based counseling to stop smoking.
Aim 1
To test whether delivery of A3-5 (Assess, Assist, Arrange) will be enhanced by a practice support system that combines (1) an expanded smoking as a vital sign intervention, (2) fax referral of preparation-stage patients for telephone counseling and (3) feedback to the provider.
Aim 2
To assess contextual factors that might affect implementation of the intervention and account for its ultimate success or failure. In particular, to assess: 1) environmental and practice-level factors that affect practices' ability to successfully implement and use the intervention and 2) patient characteristics beyond readiness to change (i.e., age, gender, race/ethnicity) that affect willingness to use the quit line and complete counseling.
The primary purpose of this project is to test whether the delivery of A3-5 (Assess, Assist and Arrange) is enhanced by a system that combines (1) an expanded vital sign intervention with (2) fax referral of preparation-stage patients for telephone counseling provided by the American Cancer Society (ACS) and (3) feedback to the provider. The question is examined in a randomized trial, with practices as the unit of analysis and with a control intervention consisting of a conventional vital sign intervention. The experiment therefore compares what intervention and control practices accomplish beyond simply identifying patients who use tobacco. The secondary purpose of this study is to assess contextual factors that might affect implementation of the intervention and account for its ultimate success or failure. In particular, to assess: (1) environmental and practice-level factors that affect practices' ability to successfully implement and use the intervention and (2) patient characteristics beyond readiness to change (i.e., age, gender, race/ethnicity) that affect willingness to use the quit line and complete counseling. The study is conducted at 16 diverse family practices in Virginia.

My figures are crossed for Mara, but Hydron seems the most likely.
"Don't crowd me boys!"
Gotta be a heavy hitter and possibly part of the sub lure for 2014.. unless it's the December figure.
Agggh! I hope it's Sagitar or Hydron.
Coming Soon. My line of 5.5'' action figures. EonQuest.com

Sagitar, Tuskador, or NA care
C'mmmmmmmmmmmooooooooooooon Hydron, Darius, Mara, Tuskador, Artilla, Drissi, or Sagitar!
Based strictly on trademarks its Hydron, Darius, or Tuskador
I'm guessing they're working on 2014 figures, if so, it probably is Hydron.
MOTUC WISHLIST- Karg ~ Crita ~ Despara ~ Fang-Or ~ Kittrina ~ Darius ~ Veena ~ Lodar ~ Hunga The Harpy ~ Great Black Wizard ~ Staghorn ~ Lady Slither ~ Artilla ~ Ra-Jarr ~ Major Header ~ Vultak ~ Evilseed ~ Prahvus ~ Queen Andreeno ~ Crimson Fury ~ Kex Queen ~ Hawke ~ Red Beast ~ Angast ~ Delora ~ Quakke ~ Lord Masque ~ Lizzor ~ Zilora ~ Three-Beast ~ Robowoman ~ Bubblor ~ Sagitar

Hoping for Hydron, Tuskador, or Sagitar!!
Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do. ― Apple Inc.
I soooo hope it´s Mara! But Hydron , Tuskador and of course Sagitar would be very welcome!
*Peekablue *Toy version Catra *Sagitar *Drissi *Crita *Lizorr *Zilora *Granita *Delora *Battle Armor Queen Marlena *Queen Veena *Calix *Hawke *Pebblass(Minicomic Comet Warrior) *Lady Slither
My latest Fan Art: http://www.he-man.org/forums/boards/...=1#post3528763
I hope it is Darius, but I expect it to be Hydron.
Ask not for whom MOTUC is made, it's made for thee.
If you have to disclaimer your like, then you don't really like it.
I think Hydron is most likely, he is a core member and easier to make than Sagitar.
I'm sure it's one of the bigger names like Hydron, which is great since I'm looking forward to him. However I still think Tuskador would turn out to be one of the best figures in the entire line.
if it isn't tuskador or sagitar, and to a lesser extent, Vizar (ONLY to increase the earth based racial minorities) I don't care.
No offense NA fans, but the Galactic protectors do NOTHING for me.
CHECK OUT MY BRAND NEW WEBSITE for my Akil and Saltfish comic strip, more to come soon!
I've got everything that I need, right in front of me! Life's a happy song people!
Fear is faith in failure
Im hoping for Hydron..... id love kayo..but that prob wont happen!!...
Man lives in the sunlit world of what he believes to be reality.
But...there is, unseen by most, an underworld, a place that is just as real,
but not as brightly lit... a DARKSIDE.

Lou's occupies the former home of Ron & Dan's Keg, an open, awkward room that's been given a minimal makeover in shades of gray with cement floors, dark wood and red cursive lettering on the walls. The bar dominates half of the spot, sharing space with a couple of wall-hugging booths; tables fill in the rest of the blocky dining area, one corner of which is designated for the charcuterie station, where an aproned chef slices cured meat, cheese and pté. The fried chicken and meatloaf are consistently good, and the sausage and spaghetti are occasionally fine, but you expect more than fine from a Bonanno restaurant.

Defending America by pushing him across the border?
Fun stuff!
Gov. Goodglasses stands a snowball's chance in Austin of making it to the White House.
Glasses, forgawdsakes. Watta maroon.
If by looking out you mean denying them basic medical care access, driving the education system to the bottom of the ratings and developing an economy that only benefits the wealthiest one percent, then yeah he's watching out for them.
Where, exactly, is the border in this 'toon? If anything, I am reminded of the photo of the flag-raising on Iwo Jima. So, Gov. Perry is simply supported by the Texas Nat'l Guard, even as our Flag was supported by the WWII soldiers.
Using tax payer dollars to send a thousand National Guard troops to the border to stand around and get in the way does seem rather dimwitted. The only thing worse is the Congressional Republicans who want to immediately deport everyone but end up standing around collecting their tax payer funded paycheck. I guess they don't have a vote to rescind the ACA or an investigation to grandstand with this week.
It's referring to Perry's announced intent to send a thousand National Guard troops to the border — where they are not actually going to help anything (they're not supposed to. They're not trained or experienced in the required work). It's purely a political gesture and a huge waste of taxpayer's money – on the order of $6000 EXTRA per illegal caught.
DaSharkie: Yes, the prospect of Clinton or Biden is scary (although not as scary as the Republicans). Elizabeth Warren? Also scary – to the ruling elites.
This is a pretty good metaphor:
A platoon of troops are carrying out their mission.
Their mission is to erect the 2016 presidential campaign of Mr. Perry, which will then flap in the breeze.
Nicely done, Mr. Anderson.
"You're right. No Republican has a chance in 2016."
True. With Obama's food stamp recruitment drive robbing Peter to pay Paul will never be more profitable. Sometimes Peter doesn't know what's going on, but Paul does and will always vote to get what is taken from someone else. -
Perry makes Dubya look smart.
The only reason he is doing this is because we have a president that refuses to uphold his oath of office and enforce the laws passed by Congress. Should be grounds for impeachment, if the Republicans would grow a spine.
A "force multiplier" to do what, exactly? The Guard can't arrest anyone; are they supposed to stand there and look menacing?
dear wolf I do not know about texas but in my state if they are on security deployment they can arrest you

Furniture Sales reviews in Amherst
At every stage of our remodel Celtic was the weak link in the chain. They were weeks late getting the first cabinets to us, during which time our carpentry subcontractors cooled their heels with little to do (they actually swept our garage, they were so bored!). When the cabinets finally arrived there were consistent problems. The carpenters had to refit virtually every cabinet because the product is so poorly made. The shelving for the closet never did arrive.
The worst, though, was the pantry. The architect custom-designed this cabinetry to optimize the food storage containers we use. What we received had no relationship to the drawings. The vertical space between the drawers was off by several inches, with the result being an unusable top drawer in each of the three cabinet sections. Moreover, two of the three cabinets arrived with drawers that were too narrow for the boxes. The carpenters were able to mount them on the hardware, but there were gaps on the side - it looked sloppy and resulted in a substantial loss of storage space. This problem was compounded because the containers for which the drawers were designed won't fit in this space as well, meaning we either needed to change storage systems or even more storage space.
In the case of all of the drawers in the pantry and the kitchen itself, the bottoms of the drawers were constructed of substandard material that flexes. We were unable to confirm the weight rating for this material, but it was clear that this material would not stand up to continued use for the storage of heavy items such as canisters of beans and other dry goods, let alone pots and pans. The pantry cabinetry that was removed featured hardware that was not as high quality as what the carpenters have installed (note: Celtic did not fabricate the hardware and we're happy with its quality), but the drawers that were removed, which were an off-the-shelf product, had very sturdy bottoms - in fact, our contractors commented on the weight of these drawers at demolition.
The cabinets were supposed to arrive painted, but Celtic decided to deliver them unpainted and have them painted on site. The house was filled with toxic fumes from this process.
We attempted to resolve all of these issues through our general contractor, but Celtic stopped returning even his calls, though when he was still returning them he just kept telling the GC that he was very busy.
Eventually, weeks later, the cabinet makers showed up to stick on little plastic dots that will keep the cabinet doors from banging when shut. I walked through the kitchen with the cabinet maker to point out the problems and ask when they were going to be fixed. First, he told me that there are no problems with any of the work. I asked about the fact that the pantry cabinets are all different widths - visibly different widths - none of which match the blueprints or the spaces into which they are to be inserted; his response was "that doesn't count" because he knew about it and was going to fix it. As the walkthrough continued, the cabinet maker continued to insist that everything was as it should be - the flexing drawer bottoms were fine, the unusable top drawers in the pantry were fine, the doors that were already warping weren't warping. He began to yell at me, then he stormed out. Thereafter, he refused to return, even though the job still wasn't complete. The general contractor confirmed that the cabinet maker had, in fact, quit.
Although we were relieved to be rid of the cabinet maker, months passed and the kitchen still not finished. Another cabinet maker was finally brought onto the job. During his walkthrough of our (someday-it-will-once-again-be-a-) kitchen, it quickly became evident that we had only scratched the surface of the Celtic's substandard performance. We learned that: The fronts of the installed cabinetry were too flimsy to hold knobs without first being reinforced. The closet shelving was never started. Various components were too deep, too shallow, misplaced, misinstalled, lacking in physical integrity...the list went on and on. The wrong hardware was used, and the larger drawers lacked bracing to prevent bowing.
A month later we still didn't have a functioning kitchen, and on top of that we were still getting emails from the contractor saying things like: "[The new cabinet maker] will be taking a look at the remaining pieces for the vanity that Celtic made. Those pieces weren't made to the correct size, so [the new cabinet maker] will see what they can do to correct that mistake."
Ultimately, the new cabinetmaker had to tear out the entire Celtic pantry and install a new one. The new pantry cabinetry fit the space properly without gaps or visible shims, the kitchen cabinets were reinforced, the warped doors replaced, the closet completed, the bathroom cabinet remade and reinstalled. I hope that others will learn from our story and stay far away from , for that way only heartache.
p.s. We filed a complaint with the BBB. Celtic never responded.
Even though he came for an estimate, he still used the previous contractor's measurements for his own, which us to have to get a new insert, since the one we wanted wouldn't fit. The original insert had to be sent back since it couldn't fit
He failed to clarify what "flashing" was to be done. We were given the impression that flashing would be done around chimney. However, only the flashing was done around the top of the chimney, not the part of the chimney that goes around the home.
The liner was on "order" for weeks when it was in the warehouse the whole time, further delaying this install. Either miscommunication or just plain lying. On top of that they snuck in the liner costs in the price which wasn't broken down for us.
The whole ordeal took 3 months!! It was all a one sided conversation with them. We always had to call to follow up with them on anything. They hardly kept in communication with us. Extremely unprofessional. They lack communication between the customer and themselves. They take messages there for , etc,, but somehow they always forget to be passed on.
I can go on and on about this "business" but the main takeaway is go somewhere else, it's not worth the headache and stress.
During the initial phases of the cabinets' construction, was sub-contracting for someone else. However, after the project was completed, we had additional requests and thoughts that we wanted to implement, and by then, had ended their subcontracting relationship and we hired directly to do some additional work (including a microwave cabinet, counter trim, and many small but important finishing touches). Note that in terms of the hands-on aspects, did ALL of the actual construction of the cabinets.
There doesn't seem to be any way to add before-and-after photographs, which is a shame. A picture is worth 1000 words ...

Panama Canal expansion work suspended: official
Published on Feb 6, 2014 1:52 AM
PANAMA CITY (AFP) - An international consortium in charge of widening the Panama Canal Wednesday suspended work on the troubled project, canal administrator Jorge Quijano said.
Grupos Unidos por el Canal, the Spanish-led consortium, "just a few moments ago suspended the work," said Mr Quijano.
"They put a threat on the table, and today (Wednesday) they carried it out," he added.
The project to widen the canal, one of the biggest civil engineering operations in the world, is due to be completed next year but is bedevilled by a dispute over huge cost overruns.

We have a Lemon Verbena growing in a pot for a few years. I'd like to plant it in the side or back yards but not sure where to place it. I know it is sensitive to cold and tends to grow in a gangly form and is often cut nearly to the ground in spring. I'd like to situate it along a path with shorter plants below it.
Does anyone have a photo of a full-size lemon verbena growing among other plants? Any suggestions for growing it in a perennial/shrub garden? |
Follow-Up Postings:
My neighbor in Watsonville had a Aloysia triphylla fifteen feet high with a trunk about six inches diameter. I took a cutting from what was over my fence and have been propagating it for the last twenty years. Here it does partially frost back and looks a little ragged in the winter and as a result never gets over six feet tall. It does require regular water, I have it on a dripper. I have never pruned it other than to shape it up from the frost burn. It is far from the house in an area of Mahonias and Abelias. If you do not frost, it could made attractive, as my neighbors was. Al |
Thank you, Al. We do get frost here, occasionally a hard frost, but glad to know that won't kill it. Is there a reason you keep it far from the house --- does it attract bees? I don't mind bees myself but some family and friends will run inside so I am trying to avoid bee magnets near the patio. Over the weekend we moved a Salvia greggii that sounded like a beehive. |
I have a Lemon Verbena that is 6 or seven years old and is the size of a small tree or tall shrub. It is next to the water spigot and so gets more water than I was told it would like. We get the occasional week of cold, but parts of my yard must be warmer since this plant has never died back. Since we LOVE summer ice tea (black Tazo), made with a decent sprig of Lemon Verbena steeped in it, the plant stays trimmed. |
I live in the Sonoma Valley and have a lemon verbena about 4-5 years old. Frost kills the stems each year. I cut them back in the spring, and the plant slowly sends up new shoots. They are about a foot tall now, ten or twenty of them. The plant will get about four feet high with multi-stems about 1/2" thick. Wish I could get it to winter over. RB |

Our house came with a nine foot tall lemon verbena. As with much of the garden, it's a bit of a neglected mess. I've been trying to prune and feed it, to bring it back to a healthier state. Bees are really not animals to be feared, especially if they're just going about their business of foraging. |

There used to be a huge one out at the domes at UC Davis, surviving all manner of privation and overindulgence and everything in between. Dan |
Bees have never been especially interested in mine. As my property is over six acres, much of my garden is far from the house. Although I have a bee sting allergy I have never been stung be a bee in the garden, where they are only interested in the flowers. Al |
Nine feet! Wow... Westelle since your zone is similar to mine, I'm curious about the actual size (height x width) of yours. About 9 feet? I'd like to place it next to a path but don't want to have to prune it a lot to keep it out of the way of the path -- I'd rather give it the room it needs, trim only to keep it tidy, and let winter have its way with it. With respect to the bees -- I've had my share of stings through the years, including a swollen neck from a yellow jacket sting, but I'm not afraid of bees. However, some friends and family are and will run in the house if they see or hear them. Out of respect for them I'd like to avoid adding new bee magnets to the edge of the patio. |
Hi Jenn! For many years I've been growing lemon verbena near doors and gates in my garden/house. In these locations gangly is sort of a plus. The idea I had in mind when I planted them was that people would brush by them in passing and release their wonderful scent. That's worked well enough with the plants I've managed to keep whacked back to a relatively small size, but there are a couple that did sorta get away from me while I wasn't looking. These now wind through an osmanthus fragrans and a camellia by the back door. They look pretty ratty all winter long (but the foliage of their host plants disguises it), and just when I threaten to yank them out in the spring, they push out splendid new growth. Bees? Never had a problem, and the verbenas are right by the door to the house. |
Jenn: Mine is only about 5' tall and wide at best. I use a lot of cuttings in the summer for our ice tea, and I think that keeps it smaller. RIght now it is still looking ratty from the winter but will be quite attractive later on. |

Recounts Samuels: "'Jay-Z,' Obama replied, as if the answer should be obvious." (It should be — the President has already mentioned that he's a Jay-Z fan, and don't forget that Beyonce sang during Barack and Michelle's inauguration dance and is involved in the First Lady's Let's Move! campaign. Basically, the Obamas and the Knowles-Carters are tight.)
"Although I like Kanye," Obama continues. "He's a Chicago guy. Smart. He's very talented."
When Samuels asks, "Even though you called him a jackass?", Obama replies, "He is a jackass. But he's talented."
President Obama's first statement of disapproval of West came after the 2009 VMAs, during an (off-the-record segment of an) interview with CNBC: "The young lady [Taylor Swift] seems like a perfectly nice person," said the President. "She's getting her award. What's he doing up there? He's a jackass."
Kanye responded to the President's remarks a year later during an interview with XXL. "When Obama called me 'jackass,' after the Taylor incident, I thought that the person who taped that wasn't supposed to tape it," he said. "Obama was supposed to be speaking off the record. Obama has way more important stuff to worry about than my public perception. He was trying to pass the healthcare bill. And if he said that to relate to the room or lighten the room up and the whole mood, then I'd be more than happy to be the butt of all of his jokes if it in the some way helps his overall mission."
Adds Kanye: "I'm a soldier of culture. I'm resilient. I'm sure I'll still beat him in basketball."

If you're paying a few extra $1000 for a built kayak I hope they have done this before. My $.02 is that using S-glass is a minor expense in the big picture but worth it in non cosmetic areas like the interior and hull exterior.

Species (Cervus canadensis) of North American deer, often considered the same species as the red deer. Once common, the wapiti is now confined to the Rocky Mountains and southern Canada. It is the second-largest living deer species (the moose is first). Males may stand taller than 5 ft (1.5 m) at the shoulder and weigh up to 1,100 lbs (500 kg). The coat is brown, pale on the rump, and long and shaggy on the shoulders and neck. The male's five-tined antlers tower almost 4 ft (1.2 m) above his head. Wapiti live in large bands in winter and in small groups in summer. See also elk.

Why is the company asking Congress once again to step in and gut the royalties that thousands of musicians rely upon? That's not fair, and that's not how partners work together.
Congress has many pressing issues to consider, but this is not one of them. Let's work this out as partners and continue to bring fans the great musical experience they rightly expect.
The issue is that Pandora is supporting the Internet Radio Fairness Act which they say will "help end the long-standing discrimination against internet radio". Artists are mad because that possibly means less money for them, but Pandora and other Internet radio providers argue they can't stay in business the way things are now.

Ly Yong Phat, the King of Koh Kong
One Cambodian entrepreneur runs the southwest corner of the country as his own personal fiefdom, but there is trouble brewing over fears of what his expansion plans could mean for the region

- Writer: Luke Hunt
Thai-Cambodian relations have been defined high in the Dangrek Mountains ever since troops from both sides began clashing over the 12th century ruins at Preah Vihear five years ago. Further south, where the Kaoh Pao meets the Gulf of Thailand, it's a very different story.
TWO-WHEELERS FOR HIGH ROLLERS: Above left, motorcycle taxi drivers wait for customers across from a casino on Koh Kong. The development of the island has contributed significantly to the economy, but at substantial environmental costs. Above right, workers lay foundations for new homes in Botum Sakor National Park in Koh Kong province.
Here relations have thrived but in a quiet way, becoming a source of pride for Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen and tycoon Ly Yong Phat.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.
US/CHINA- Obama says not soft-pedaling China rights issues

WASHINGTON, Nov 9 (Reuters) - U.S. President Barack Obama on Monday
rejected criticisms that he is giving short shrift to human rights issues
in his approach toward China and some other countries.
"I don't find the critics credible," Obama told Reuters in an interview.
"If you look at my statements, they have been entirely consistent. We
believe in the values of freedom of speech, freedom of press, freedom of
religion, that are not just core American values but we believe are
universal values."
Obama this week heads to Asia for a nine-day trip that will include visits
to Shanghai and Beijing.
Critics have cited his decision last month not to meet with the Dalai Lama
as a sign he was willing to play down human rights concerns to try to
curry favor with the Chinese on other issues, such as the global economy
and the Iranian and North Korean nuclear disputes. (Reporting by Caren

Bucking, frying, showing, shrieking, you'll find it at the fairs
Washington state is no slouch in the fair department. Counties north, south and all around are hosting this summer.
NWTraveler editor
Summer schedules
Fairs throughout Washington: www.mrsc.org/subjects/econ/ed-fair.aspx#List
Washington State Fair:
STEP RIGHT UP to the county and state fairs, the rite of summer all across the U.S.
Scream on the roller coasters and other rides. Sing along to country crooners or rock out to classic bands. See the bucking broncos, tractor pulls, the prize livestock. And feast on deep-fried everything.
The Midwest is the heartland of fairs, and everyone flocks to the down-home fun, such as these shrieking teens on the Ring of Fire thrill ride at the county fair in Brainerd, Minn.
But Washington state is no slouch; counties north, south and all around are hosting summertime fairs. The more sparsely populated counties stick mainly to the traditional livestock and agricultural shows and fun. But biggies such as the Washington State Fair in Puyallup (Sept. 6-22) pile on the concerts and comedians, the rides and rodeos.
Big or small, a summer fair can be screaming fun for everyone.

BoE wins dismissal of Starr's Mill student's lawsuit about use of Facebook photo
A former Starr's Mill High School student's lawsuit against the Fayette County Board of Education over the use of a Facebook photo she posted has been dismissed in federal court.
U.S. District Judge Timothy C. Batten ruled that because plaintiff Chelsea Chaney posted it to her Facebook page, thus allowing others access to it, she had no reasonable expectation of privacy under federal law.
The photo was displayed in a PowerPoint presentation at a community awareness seminar held by the school system in October 2011, and that particular slide in the presentation used her full name as well, according to the lawsuit. The photo depicts a bikini-clad Chaney standing next to a life-size photo of the rapper known as "Snoop Dogg."
While dismissing the lawsuit against the school system, it will remain intact for now in a personal capacity against the school system employee who prepared the PowerPoint presentation, Director of Technology Curt Cearley, who had not filed a motion to dismiss the case, according to Batten's ruling.
The lawsuit claimed that the school system and Cearley violated her Fourth Amendment right to be free from illegal search and seizure along with her Fourteenth Amendment right to privacy.
Judge Batten ruled that Chaney's profile privacy setting at the time was set to "friends of friends" and thus made per page available to "potentially hundreds, if not thousands, of people whom she did not know." As such, Chaney's Fourth Amendment claim could not be sustained, Batten wrote.
Because Chaney voluntarily gave the photo to her Facebook friends, she had no legitimate expectation of privacy according to federal law, Batten ruled.
...doubtful. Go away, publicity seeker.
Sweetheart, if you don't want any buyers, don't advertise. The social media generation has to learn this just like we old folks did...
The tech guy made a poor decision and should be reprimanded. He apologized soon after, learned his lesson and we can move on.
The young lady learned a valuable lesson about posting her business on line. She was embarrassed. So what. Didn't we all do stupid things at that age?
The parents on the other hand, I just don't understand. Were they embarrassed and sued to get even? Or were they manipulated by princess to save her "reputation"? Everything blew over and the young lady took part in a pageant a few weeks later, so where was the damage? I also question the parents thought process allowing an adult friend of the family to take a photo of their bikini clad daughter in the first place. That's just creepy.
I wonder what the FCBOE's total cost was of defending Mr. Cearly and his "poor decision." Inquiring minds want to know!
Than the $2M the young lady wanted for "embarrassment".
Just throw some beads at Mardi Gras next year to Chelsea/Chastity/Cherry or whatever her name is and she will be happy and you might get a brief show too.
Yeah, IT guy used bad judgment here, but that lawsuit is ludicrous. So is hanging him for making a mistake. This is a good lesson of what you DON'T put online yourself for teens and we'll see if maybe some get the message. Sort of doubt it, not as long as you have teens with sue-happy and oblivious "parents."
among some teens and 20-somethings about Facebook. Some have discovered that posting endless photos or tweeting every detail of your daily life creates a lack of privacy that they don't like - so their solution is to stop doing it. Wow! How about that? Never thought I'd see that happen in the slacker generation, but I'm sure glad it is. Maybe that is why Facebook stock offering tanked -real investors didn't see a real product.
It was an incredibly poor decision by the BOE to allow it. Wrong on many levels whether legal or not. They should be ashamed of their actions and all deserve to be humiliated in a like manner for their stupidity.
So just where does one find where the BOE "allowed" this to happen?
don't you mean her stupidity?
If this had been any other employee, they would have been toast. I hope he is paying the lawyer out of his pockets.

Texas State Bobcats (7-17)
@Texas-Arlington Mavericks (11-13)
Saturday, February 15
College Park Center
Attendance: 2,663
Texas State
Arlington, TX (SportsNetwork.com) - Brandon Edwards notched a double-double with 18 points and 12 rebounds as the Texas-Arlington Mavericks came back to beat the Texas State Bobcats, 69-62, in a Sun Belt Conference matchup at College Park Center.
Reger Dowell tallied a game-high 23 points for the Mavericks (11-13, 6-6 Sun Belt), who have won back-to-back games. Lonnie McClanahan and Jamel Outler logged 13 and 12 points, respectively. McClanahan also had seven assists in the win.
Wes Davis netted 12 points for the Bobcats (7-17, 3-8), who have lost two in a row. Joel Wright followed with 11 points.
The Bobcats got off to a good start, shooting an even 50 percent in the first half. At the other end, the Mavericks struggled at just 30 percent and trailed, 33-25, at halftime.
In the latter half, the Bobcats dipped to 42.3 percent, while the Mavericks improved to 59.1 percent, including 7-of-10 from the perimeter, as they rallied for the win.
The Mavericks sank 23-of-31 at the free-throw line to help pad their offense in the come-from-behind effort.

Hi all ,
Does anyone have any good suggestions for a 9mm semi-auto that would be used for CCW, but also be somewhat competitive for IPSC (Production Division)? I don't expect to actually win any IPSC competitions with a compromise CCW/IPSC gun, but I don't want to look like a complete idiot either!
I would like it to be able to carry ten or more rounds, weigh under 26oz, have around a four inch barrel, be double action only, have mags and holsters fairly readily available, be reliable, and I'm also not too crazy about manual safeties either (especially with a DAO).
I don't want to spend more than $800, but less would be really great.
I'm not a tyro with firearms by any means, but since I'm a 100% revolver guy for the last 40 years (until now), I'm stuck on this one. (The only semi-auto that I currently own is a ChiCom Mauser Broomhandle, so I'm not really up on the latest and greatest CCW/IPSC autos! ).
I know this is a tough nut to crack, but any ideas from you auto guys?
PS: I will be on the road for the next week, so if I don't respond to any comments/questions, it's because I may have no computer connection available. Thanks!
